No clue where they came from. This monster can’t stand them, or anything that makes noise. The kitten loves them, which is awesome if I ever get around to making some cat toys with servo motors again.
Did you try reducing down the blueberry juice? If it’s a savory flavor like you say, I’d be interested to know what properties it might have as a sauce.
More specifically, I’m curious how it’d be in three ways: one test group cooked down on its own with no additives, a second one simply used to deglaze a fond and made into a pan sauce that way, and then a third made into the same pan sauce, but then mounted with butter.
Hah, who knows? Maybe you could make a roux and try it as a gravy. Oh, or maybe, if you season it right, you could make it into like a sweet/savory/spicy chicken wing sauce?
I’m curious why you would want to ferment both pico de gallo, which is essentially a fresh salsa, and blueberries? Were you trying to preserve them or something? Some context is missing here. Maybe someone else can be of more help. You have piqued my interest though.
Just stuff on hand for experimentation with lactose fermentation. It would have gone bad otherwise. The lid of the greenish brown jar says the start date, added a bit of honey for extra insurance (“H”). I also tasted and intuitively thought I’d try running it through a food processor, added more honey and let it go. It went through a gamut of evolving smells. It ended in a mild green salsa like flavor. It had a LOT of CO^2^ production throughout, far more than anything else I’m messing with. There is a lot more alcohol in it, but I have no idea how much is really there.
The blueberries worried me around a week ago. They tasted like olives, but now they have a more pleasant flavor, or rather, the juice does now. It is about like a more berry/savory almost beet juice like wine flavor, but more savory than a wine. It is savory like a soy or fish/Worcestershire sauce, but less concentrated than those.
These are 3% salt brine fermentations to insure the right kind of bacterial growth. Fermenting stuff and experimenting with unique flavors that this creates is how you take cooking to the highest levels, but also a serious survival skill. It only takes around 3 weeks from food scarcity to population reduction.
Thanks for the info! Experimentation in the kitchen is fun! I haven’t attempted any fermentation yet. I usually take fresh pico de gallo that’s not so fresh and cook it down with some tomato paste, blitz it, and use it as a dip or pizza sauce. To prolong its life I freeze it in an ice cube tray which I then transfer to ziplock freezer bags.
I once applied for a job at a plasma donation center. They keep their sample freezers at -40°. During the interview process the hiring manager was going over basic info for the job and when they went over the freezer they said “And we keep the freezer at -40°C. I don’t know what it is in F though.” I then explained that they’re the same at -40° and that’s why their job posting doesn’t list the unit. They then acted like I was incredibly stupid and told me that “no, there’s a formula to figure it out. I don’t remember the formula but theyre definitely not the same” I didn’t feel the need to argue the point further so I just dropped it and moved on.
I never got a call back from them. I’m 90% sure that’s why I didn’t get the job since Before that point they were telling me how they thought I’d be great manager material.
I still get mad every time I think about it. Jokes on them though. I since learned they were a terrible employer. I got a way better job than that place like a week later.
No homo but I also like cock. I Iove the sensation of a big throbbing cock in my mouth as it jizzes out cum down my throat. It’s all part of a balanced diet.
It’s not mysterious that they meet somewhere. These are linear functions so they can’t help but meet at exactly one point (or zero if they were parallel)
